Hiya,
Whenever I scan a drawing or painting into PS, the skin (which is tan, beige or pinkish) comes out very white … not showing the fleshtones hardly at all.
I’ve tried setting my scanner at a darker color .. but then the background comes out darker, so does the whole painting … and that’s not what I want.
Everything else (clothing,etc.) comes out the true colors, except the skin.
Any ideas?
Oh yes, I have an older model scanner, can’t remember which one now, and the name is rubbed off. Microtec maybe? Something like that.
Thanks,
Dee
